podracer undocumented useful information



1) The podracer default for podcasts organization is to first create a
   date directory in form of 2007-02-18 inside a user's podcasts directory
   then put all podcasts that come in for that date into that date
   directory.  That much of the podracer podcasts organization appears to
   be hard-wired into the program.  If I remove the date directory
   creation code in my own copy of .podracer/podracer.conf copied from
   /etc/podracer.conf those date directories are still created.
In order to put each podcast into its own directory based on feed name, you could put an entry in the .podracer/subscriptions file that has the following content and format: # linux reality podcast http://feeds.feedburner.com/LinuxReality /linux-reality-podcast That entry will when the first LinuxReality installment comes in will create a linux-reality-podcast directory under the date directory and place that .mp3 file inside the linux-reality-podcast directory. This is not something you'll find in the man page, I found out about it by doing some experimentation and that / before your desired directory name really is mandatory if you want this to work.
